Enheduanna

Enheduanna was the daughter of King Sargon of Akkad and the Chief Priestess of Ishtar in Ur during the 23rd century BC. Her father secured the loyalty of the wealthy city of Ur by making his daughter Chief Priestess, giving her religious power over the city's residents. She continued on as Chief Priestess during the reign of her brothers Rimush and Naram-Sin of Akkad, despite a brief exile and a subsequent reinstatement.
